From google news: Montreal police say they were target of Habs riot that ended with 16 arrests MONTREAL — Highly organized arsonists used the cover of a spontaneous downtown celebration by Canadiens fans to lash out violently at police, authorities said Tuesday. An outpouring of support for the Habs after their game-seven win over the Boston Bruins ended early Tuesday morning with 16 police cruisers wrecked, including five that were set aflame. While 10 buildings and one civilian vehicle were also damaged, police acknowledged the bulk of the violence was directed at them. I was born and raised in Montreal and am a HUGE Habs fan, but this was just stupidity at its best/worst.
I was there ..it was the craziest thing ever, I was there, a guy took a bat from his car, and smashed a clothing stores window..i was like WTF ..and then minutes later, a cop car went on fire
This was planned as far as anyone can tell, not part of the Habs game, but using it as cover... Whats the point if you dont have a message or was it just "FU Cops"?
